Background History of our school

Maxeke secondary school was founded in 1950 by Charlotte Maxeke after whom it was named. The school was a primary school before it was converted to a secondary school, the aim was to give better education to blacks and avoid Bantu education. Charlotte Maxeke looks for sponsors all over the world in order to fund the school, but in the sixties the school had to close down due to lack of funds.
